Pant’s batting played an important role in helping Team India, which won the toss and batted first, recover from the initial setbacks. However, before getting out against Australian captain Pat Cummins, Pant was seen batting in complete control. So, to dismiss Pant, who was looking dangerous in the match, the captain of the opposing team, Cummins, had also made a special plan, about which former cricketer Michael Hussey has also talked. Hussey, who was doing live commentary during the match, said- This is why you can make a fast bowler the captain. He is a smart bowler, smart captain, Pat Cummins. He bowled this ball outside the off-stump, threatening Rishabh Pant’s composure, and it just went a little full. Rishabh Pant, he saw that midwicket and tried to work there.
